    Again, an irrational flight of fancy.

    Notably, one that discredits the justice system, and therefore any findings.

    Hmm. Who could possibly have inspired to you to think this way, and why?

    Back to reality, Mueller's going where the evidence leads him, plain and simple.

    Mueller got cohen on tax evasion to the sum of millions of dollars having nothing to do with trump

    According to the plea, Cohen failed to report more than $4 million in income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). That income was largely related to Cohen’s work with various taxicab companies, many of which had previously been linked to tax trouble. New York's so-called "Taxi King," Evgeny Freidman, pleaded guilty to tax fraud in May; Freidman had reportedly been Cohen’s partner in the taxi business for years.

    The rest is just cohen saying what mueller wants him to say

    Meaning he pled guilty to a non crime

    "Trump directed me to cheat millions on my taxes. Trump directed me to have the brain controller implanted in my brainstem. Trump directed the judge to sentence me to prison. It was all Trump controlling me since I got my license to practice law. It was Trump I tell you, Trump."

    So how long did it take the Leftness to get up a thread about.....Manhattan attorneys investigating Trump's Inauguration? LMAO.

    Such is how the Lame Stream Media plays. Looking to trick the non-knowing thinking it is some other prosecutors other than the SDNY.

    Its the same damn attorneys that just hooked Cohen up. Another dead end for the leftness. Note the uptick in the media coverage while they run away from Russian Collusion so as to not make the Demos look like retards.

    If you post enough times, you'll eventually get something correct... muellers only claim here was Cohens guilty plea for lying to Congress... the rest was from SDNY. Cohen better hope Mueller doesnt have anything for Cohen from his probe, because 3 years for this loser is an absolute gift...

    Again, just correcting your wrong statements. Mueller has the man he wants to charge and now he needs to find the crime.

    Really? Funny... he seems pretty contented about his situation from his statement at the sentencing. Seems he'd rather go to prison than continue to support Trump.... That's not a rave review by any stretch...

    SNIP
    I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to, the personal ones to me and those involving the President of the United States of America.

    It was my own weakness, and a blind loyalty to this man that led me to choose a path of darkness over light.

    Your Honor, this may seem hard to believe, but today is one of the most meaningful days of my life. The irony is today is the day I am getting my freedom back

    And I will continue to cooperate with government, offering as much information as I truthfully possess.
    ENDSNIP

    Doesn't sound like a man getting his arm twisted to me...

    Cohen is a lawyer which makes him very flexible

    Did you hear that the Center for Disease Control is going to begin using lawyers for some experiments?

    The reason?

    There are some things that a rat just wont do

    ALL IN THE FAMILY: Maxine Waters’ Campaign Debt to Daughter Jumps $90,000.

    More accurately, the Waters campaign steered an additional $90,000 to her daughter.

    Where are the Federal Prosecutors?

    Sounds like a man that was desperate to get a good sentence result.

    There is a significant legal question about whether the Trump/Cohen transactions amount to in-kind campaign contributions under federal law; and that, as a matter of law, Cohen’s concession on that point (by pleading guilty without contesting it) is not binding on Trump; Trump’s defense would argue that these transactions, under lots of precedent prominently including the Obama violation, should be treated as an administrative matter to be sorted out by the FEC, not the subject of a felony prosecution. Trump’s underlying conduct is not illegal, but, Obama transactions were unquestionably illegal campaign contributions while there is a colorable question whether Trump’s were campaign contributions at all.

    Trump has absolutely zero evidence to support this accusation. And, if it were possible, you have even less.

    Trump didn't have anything to do with the plea deal.

    By individuals who have no rational argument to make, perhaps.

    Again, Trump has zero evidence to support the conspiracy theory that Cohen pled guilty to something that is not a crime for the sole purpose of getting to Trump. You, nor Zorro, and Mac-7 have less than nothing.

    We are going to watch Congress, who pays hush money out of the US Treasury, try to impeach someone for paying hush money out of their own pocket?

    Should be a hoot!

    Full Speed Ahead!
